Goannas or monitor lizards are a common sight in Australia. There are over 20 different species, adapted to different habitats, and interestingly they all look very similair. But there is a big difference in their size. The largest Australian monitor lizard, the Perentie, can be over two metres long. Its tiny relative, the short-tailed monitor, reaches all of 20 cm.
